| Qualitative Info |
There is no evidence on migrants/minorities facing disporportionate problems in accessing justice in Finland.
However, the situation is better for those groups of people who can turn to the Office of the Ombudsman for Minorities for assistance than for members of sexual minorities and disabled people who do not have their own ombudsman institution.
There is no evidence that the legal aid system would be biased towards minorities/migrants.
The criminal justice system does not provide such disaggegated data that would allow an analysis of differential sentencing.
